The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders
The winter’s light feels different on my skin
[…]
Distill a whole year down into a day
Act like we all start over with a pristine slate
But to get yourself a new life,
you’ve got to give the other one away
And I’m starting to believe,
in the power of a name
Cause it can’t be a mistake,
if I just call it change

I wanted to expand all my entries in my Org file, to see how large it had gotten, so I looked up how to do it.
To expand all tabs (org-show-all)C-u C-u Tab
To close tabs to the startup visibility of the buffer (org-set-startup-visibility)C-u C-u C-u Tab
Tada!

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark
The Bravest — grope a little —
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead —
But as they learn to see —
Either the Darkness alters —
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight
— Emily Dickinson
